Token of Immortality
This season introduced a new element to the gameplay, the Token of Immortality. Until found, the winner of each round was given a hint as to the location and how to obtain this token, which could be used to exempt oneself from a Deathmatch.
In episode 6, Lee Sang-min found the token, using the clue he obtained as the winner of episode 5, and clues disclosed by Lim Yo-hwan. The token was accompanied by a fake token, which was used in episode 6 by Lee Doo-hee. Lee Sang-min gave up his token to Lim Yo-hwan, in episode 10.
